I have just joined the mailing list having installed Mutt with Fetchmail and Procmail and I'm getting about 95% of the functionality I want having played with the configuration for a few days.
I'm not sure if this problem I have is more MTA stuff but hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction. My home Linux network is on a non-Internet valid domain "penguins.home" and the hostname of the machine with Mutt is "gentoo". Although I (obviously) populate the "From:" address with my proper email address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", my emails get rejected from the offices of a couple of friends of mine because the hostname "gentoo.penguins.home" is seen by their mail server, it's not a valid domain so it gets bounced. Presumably this is a particular mail header field that's wrong? Or is it something I need to do with sendmail? Or do I simply need to use host and domain names that are valid? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
